So did the draft in my 10-team PPR money league and came out with this:

QB - Stafford (DET), Fitzpatrick (BUF)
RB - McFadden (OAK), Best (DET), Ingram (NO), Starks (GB), Hightower (WSH)
WR - White (ATL), Wallace (PIT), Bryant (DAL), Smith (CAR), Meachem (NO)
TE - Graham (NO), Moeaki (KC)
K - Rackers (HOU)
DEF - San Diego

Not thrilled about it but I think I did okay considering I was 8th in the order.

RB: Rice, Bradshaw, Hightower, T.Jones, Gerhart
WR: V.Jackson, Harvin, Britt, Burleson, K.Walter, Breaston
TE: Pettigrew

B Leaguers...

Pretty safe bet that Jebobos is joborule.

That leaves Ragz, Kelekin and sevenarms left. One of them has signed up, the other two hasn't. Anybody know any of these guys? If so, prod them. We draft Sunday!

I figured this would be the right thread to ask.

Due to the Labour issues plagued this off season, what is a good as up to date as can be magazine this year?

I generally like to have a list of players on paper and use that as another opinion on players.

I would skip the magazine and go straight to websites instead. Yahoo Sports, CBS sports, ESPN, CNNSI and others all provide updated rankings and enough analysis which is better than most magazines. You can also get breakdowns of all positions or the overall top 250 from those sites.

Just print those lists off and save yourself some money. I remember buying the Sport Illustrated fantasy football magazine a few years ago. The information was outdated a week after I bought it due to injuries, trades, FA's, etc...

I think ESPN has a breakdown and write up of every player

I don't have a printer so I can't do that.

Yeah I use the internet alot to get info. I like having a pen and paper when I make my personal lists. I like getting info from as many sources as possible before I compile my lists. I use ESPN, Yahoo and then a random magazine. Every year I spend like an hour going thru different magazines before I buy one and was hoping to avoid that again, lol. I always forget which mag I get from the previous year. The draft is on the 4th so I gotta cram this week, lol.

And a magazine is nice to have when i'm taking a dump.

A league is all set and ready to go with Prot being the slacker. DFF, if you want me to send those three guys an e-mail, let me know. Or I can pass along their e-mail address to you so you can get it all sorted.

OK, I've emailed the 3 missing B-leaguers. Hopefully the two sign up that haven't and the other guy that is signed up makes an appearance soon.

OK...Ragz is in! That gives the B league 11 teams...that won't work. We need that 12th guy to register PRONTO.

B League draft is complete!

Very happy with my draft. Only took two Broncos and one is a bench player, the other a kicker.

That's probably a record for me.

Can't wait to get started!

I had a couple of questionable reaches in my league (Stafford in the 7th round, Meachem in the 10th), but I think getting Tim Hightower with my 13th pick (104 overall) is going to be huge.

Ugh, I completely forgot about my draft and the auto-draft wrath struck me. Oh well, maybe I will luck out.
